We all need a new beginning to challenge ourselves so life won't turn into a dull and bland show.
Just like everyone, I also aimed for a new beginning. I do not doubt how much people wish to live a life that I have now. I was always grateful for my lineage and the privileges that came with it. But very recently this privileged life made me think like I was getting everything without even wasting a breath. At twenty-three I feel like I need to revaluate my life itself.
I graduated with a degree in business marketing but never went ahead to pursue it. I took art classes but never sold or displayed my pieces. Instead, just like the free spirit that I am, I went ahead with my hobby of travelling and exploring the world.
Even though I earn enough money for myself from the c
The week went in an absolute blur. The news of me agreeing to intern at Sebstelivia Corporation was becoming real with every passing second. I was going through a total rainbow of emotions. Nervous, anxious, excited, confused, afraid. You name it and I have gone through it. Amid it all, I was still trying to keep my sanity in check or at least trying and failing in between. I was keeping myself busy with planning and preparing my exit from Boston to New York. Though the distance was not that far and I have gone way far ahead and travelled the world, it was still my first time to be away from home for such a long time. Mom has told me that I
It was true that packing could be a pain to deal with. At one moment it makes you feel so excited and the next moment you would scream at top of your lungs cause you are not packing enough or you have packed too much. Believe me when I say that I was going through the same thing right now. My apartment was a mess. I felt twisted up in my messed-up life. I was picking up something to pack, such as a lovely outfit, one moment and then throwing it out of the suitcase the next. Yes, I picked it up again and put it away. It's just another lovely top, after all. Like a Bridezilla, I was becoming a ‘travel-zilla' for sure. Thankfully, Jessica and Tiffany
Ryan and Jess left a few minutes before the security check. Jess was teary eyes and hugged me tightly until Ryan had to forcefully separate her grip. I have never seen my sister this sad because of me ever. For God's sake, I do travel blogs for life! I hugged Ryan as well. And comically warned him that if he hurts Tiffany ever then he should mentally prepare himself to face my wrath. To which he just rolled his eyes. I know how much he loves Tiffany so I was not worried about them at all. I asked both Jess and Ryan to take care of mom and other family members and keep me posted with every little update. After bidding my family with an aching heart and a little teary-eyed, I composed myself and went for the security check.
If you thought packing your pieces of stuff was difficult then wait until you start to unpack. I sincerely regretted calling packing a bitch. At least with packing, I had Tiffany and Jessica to seamlessly sort my things out. But here in a new place, I have no one to help me with it. A sudden thought crossed my mind where I felt like considering hiring a house help for the apartment. Honestly sitting cross-legged in between these piles and piles of unpacked boxes made me realise how much unpacking can be the true queen bitch. I was going through a major missing my packing fairies, Tiffany and Jessica. The money that I have in my account minus the gifts from my family was enough to hire a house help for three months. Even though it seemed feasible, somewhere I was feelin
'I was in a rush' would be an understatement of the century. I was frantic and on the verge of losing myself in a panic attack. I was already feeling horrified at being so fashionably late. Take a deep breath Tina, it's okay, you will manage somehow. It's just the first day, not the end of the fucking world. I tried consoling myself throughout my panic state. I didn't have the luxury of blow drying my hair properly. I couldn't find my hairdryer because I couldn't remember where I put it. I was able to dry it using the towel and the sunlight streaming in through the windows. With the record-breaking rate of the world’s shortest shower, I dashed in and out of the bathroom within a few minutes. &
My first day at work will begin from this moment onwards. Without causing any further delay I sprinted towards the glassy building. Before I could run inside, I was halted on my way by the security. "Do you have an appointment with someone here?" The guard asked. Dressed in a dark suit and a stoic expression, the large burly man appeared quite menacing. I guess that's why he was hired for Security. His name tag read Earl Martin, Chief security. "I will be starting working here from today onwards." The guard gave me a suspicious look. I did not mind honestly because I understand it's a part of his job. Earl asked for my company-issued ID card and s
There are so many moments in life that make you feel regretful for your actions. In the end, you end up making an ass of yourself. Well, what can I say but I am a pro at embarrassing myself in front of others. Now I can seriously relate myself to that line. Yeah talk about embarrassing yourself and I would raise my hand to vote it as my favourite topic. Well, this was my moment of downfall. I was deeply regretting my actions. My regrets may turn back around to shove me deep into the ocean and sink into oblivion just like the damn Titanic. If you are thinking why am I being so dramatic? Then the answer is very simple. I mean there's a reason why my friends call me a drama queen and I certainly do live up to that name I guess. Don't judge me cause you would be doing this too if you were in my position for now. I just can't bel
The marketing department was located on the twenty-fifth floor. I dashed into the elevator and pressed the 25th-floor button from the menu. This time I was riding alone so no more pranking for now at least. Soon I reached my destination and stepped out of the elevator. The marketing department was lively and busting with workers. For a second it felt like I had entered wall street somehow. I walked towards the receptionist area and introduced myself. One thing that I liked the most about Sebstelivia Corporation was every department of this company has got its own receptionist to cater for your needs as a helping hand. “Hello Ms Kingston, I welcome you officially on board. Come with me, I will take you to your desk.” "That would be great, Steffanie.” I said to the receptionist. We went towards the right and I saw the main office hall of the marketi
“Now that I am finally out of the hospital and Dad, as well as the nurses, are also here, why don’t you and Sebastian go out to spend some quality time? Do some sightseeing as well. Have you ever been to London before?” Olivia asked, to which I shook my head in response. “Then it’s decided. I will talk to Sebastian to take you out and show you around.” And that’s how my sightseeing in London began. I was mesmerized by watching the most famous The Tower Bridge. I was taken aback by it's magnanimous presence. The historical highlight was now live and real in front of my eyes. Sebastian and I took so many photos with the London highlights in the background. And then we visited the London eye, The most famous and giant ferris wheel. It offered us an exceptional view of the city. My time in London with my beloved one was the experience of a lifetime th
It was like a punch to our gut. I couldn’t imagine the pain and distress Olivia and her family was going through. I was praying to God to let some miracle happen and both the baby and the mother be safe. Looking at our shock filled faces the doctor continued. “This complication is not rare and we have handled such kinds of cases before. You don’t have anything to worry about Ms Anderson.” I saw a wave of relief passing through the faces of Steve and Sebastian like they saw a ray of hope. “Please Doctor, you have to save both my sister and the baby. I am pleading you.” Sebastian whispered, anxiously. He was running his hand in his hair, clutching them to get some sort of control. “We will do our best Mr Anderson” The doctor spoke and went ahead to the operation theatre. Not after a few minutes long and we saw the nurses shifting Olivia in a
Sebastian left me on the kitchen top in a very compromised state. Well, I don't blame him though. I hope Olivia is alright. While he went ahead and picked up the incoming call I slid down myself from the kitchen counter, looking at the half-cooked veggies. They didn't look that much appetising now. Well, my appetite has already vanished into the thin air so I can kiss that sandwich goodbye. Maybe I will cook for him some other time. I marched into the bathroom to clean myself up so that Sebastian could have some privacy. I could hear his agitated tone but couldn't decipher the words he was speaking to the other person. It was evident that the sensual mood that we shared before has been evaporated now into the thin air. Although I was curious to know why did Olivia called him during this moment, I still decided to respect Sebastian's privacy. He would tell me about the m
Sebastian made me realise why I loved his body so much. After our sizzling round, three of the sex marathon somewhere in between both of us did feel hungry and yes this time for food. Sebastian has made breakfast for me before when I was at his place in New York so this time I wanted to return the favour. I may not be that great at cooking but still, I could arrange a sandwich for sure. It was already very late in the morning. While I remained busy preparing the stuffing for the chicken sandwich, Sebastian was sitting in the living room scrolling through the news channels. This felt kind of domestic and for the first time I stepped into this city I was not feeling anxious or worried about work, maintenance of this apartment and my lack of social life. But I was happy. I was immensely content with being with him. Fulfilling my raunchy dreams in rea
That night I forgot to count the number of times this man had given me those fabulous orgasms. My body was getting used to having him around like it's something very natural part of my being. Getting united with him and his chiselled body after a month of tulmutious torture was the catalyst for igniting our passion. I wanted to react differently this time. Instead of running away from him like I always do, this time I let my heart rule over my body. And I was never been happier regarding my decision. It felt like I was floating with ecstasy after learning that this man also has the same feelings for me as I have for him. My eyes almost teared up thinking about his confession a few minutes before. Our feelings were not limited to the attraction between our bodies, it has turned into something much deeper and beautiful. It made me feel beautiful. Both of u
"I want to fuck that delicious body of yours, Christina, I want you to scream my name with pleasure." Sebastian announced with his predatory gaze. "You sound so filthy and so hot at the same time!" I exclaimed. I mean what else did I expect? Roses and sweet nothings? No thanks. "Would you let me?" He asked impatiently. Even though I was enjoying teasing him, there was a part of me that wanted to take this man out of misery. Sebastian's question raised the precious memories of having our body interwined with each other I won't admit it aloud but I was enjoying seeing him agitated due to the torment. "Yes" I confessed and without any limitation, started kissing him passionately. With a jolt Sebastian took away the piece of towel from my body, leaving me squirming absolutely naked i
Sebastian was the last person I expected to see at that moment. Both of us were utterly shocked to see each other in such a state. I was surprised and contemplating how he managed to get my address and maybe he was surprised by seeing me greeting him in a bath towel. But I guess he got out of the shock a little sooner than me. Before I could react further I felt his hand drawing me closer to him and in an instant, his lips were slammed on mine. I willingly let him kiss me and I kissed him back. Without breaking the kiss Sebastian lifted me up from the floor and held me from my waist. I eagerly let my body feel his warmth and embrace. I was kissing this man after a month. My body was reacting to his touch in every way I have always imagined. As his hands started to reach inside the hem of the towel I felt my body jerk with awareness of what was happening at this moment.
Svetlana's voice kept echoing in my ears back to back. For a moment it felt like my surroundings had turned into pin drop silence and only her voice could be heard. To me, the sound of her laughter felt like that irritating viral laugh audio you have heard on social media, annoying and full of cringe. It seemed as if she was laughing at me like I was some kind of dumb joke. It felt like my world stood still for a second. The information was too much for me to process at that moment. I was getting fired for something that I didn't even commit. Is this what you call 'justice'? Wasn't it innocent till proven guilty? Then why was I labelled as a culprit here? Why are they ignoring my side of the story? So many questions were emerging in my head. I could feel an oncoming headache and the intense throbbing made it feel like my head was going to burst at any second. "She is not getting fired, Svetlana," Braden sho
The following days after the meeting with Sebastian aka the chief executive officer has been one hell of a ride of a giant roller coaster throughout the week. I have been working non-stop during these days in promoting the Hotel for its one monthly anniversary celebration. Work was pretty hectic throughout the week would be an understatement. This whole crucial work was dropped in the laps of us, interns. Seven of us interns were handling this project under the guidance of Louisa and Braden. Mila and I were from our marketing department while Amy, Shawn and Sophia joined us from the IT department. Carl and Summer were from the finance department.
